You have to use the “high-speed flow” correction when the Eckert number is higher than the inverse of the Prandtl number. Sometimes, it's not possible to know this before solving the problem. If you think the high-speed flow correction is not necessary, then solve the problem ignoring the high-speed flow correction, then calculate the Eckert number, and make sure it's low enough. If the Eckert number is too high, recalculate the problem using the high-speed flow correction. I'll give you 2 point bonus boost for this question.

Yes you can use that correlation as long as the Rayleigh number falls in the appropriate range restriction. Also, you should compute the heat loss on both sides of the plate by multiplying by 2. I'll give you 0.5 point bonus boost for this question.

Hm, well, the characteristic length $L_c$ is the average distance a fluid particule would travel while touching the surface of the body.. How to determine $L_c$ depends on the situation.. I explained this in class.

This is a good question. “Convective” heat transfer is just an handy way of dealing with the complex conduction heat transfer that occurs within matter in movement. So in this course, we say that convective heat transfer is the heat transfer that occurs at the interface between a solid and a fluid and we use the parameter $h$ to deal with this situation: this is an engineer “trick” that makes it easier to solve engineering problems. But fundamentally in physics, there are only two types of heat transfer: conduction and radiation. |
